Notes

FREE JAZZ was recorded in one uninterrupted "take" of 36 minutes 23 seconds and transfered to record without any overdubs made.
It is exactly as heard in the studio during the performance of the Ornette Coleman Double Quartet.

This album was groundbreaking in the history of jazz, featuring the longest session of pure and free improvisation. Honestly, I can't say I still love the album or listen to it regularly, but there were times when I deeply enjoyed it's groove, inventiveness and richness. It's also featuring both great bass players Coleman's played with - Charlie Haden and Scott LaFaro - and both drummers - Billy Higgins and Ed Blackwell. CD versions also feature an alternate take. Avoid the vinyl reissue, by the way! It sounds quite thin and empty.
